Summary:
Details: Unity before 7.2.1, as used in Ubuntu 14.04, does not properly handle keyboard shortcuts, which allows physically proximate attackers to bypass the lock screen and execute arbitrary commands, as demonstrated by right-clicking on the indicator bar and then pressing the ALT and F2 keys.
